We have two Border Collie mixes. When there is ever a commotion in the neighborhood (usually a dog across the way barking) Jax runs outside and grabs his ‘Mr. Moose’ (a squeaky toy). It’s his pacifier.
My baby gurl gently carries soft toys around in her mouth like they’re her babies. She even sometimes nibbles at them with her front teeth like she’s grooming them or biting away (imaginary) nits. Someone gave her stuffed tacos as a gift. It’s quite funny watch her walk around with a whole taco in her mouth & not eat it.
Bayliss doesn’t really do toys. He has a piece o’ crap throw pillow he likes a lot, right now. Occasionally he walks around with it in his mouth. As soon as the Outlaws get interested in it he hides it in his closet. [den]
We had the dogs that would de-squeekify their toys, but what was disturbing is with any toy that had eyes, one of them would immediately tear the eyes out.
